Rambler Roundup: News Edition

  • The head of the National Zoo wants to create a park in Front Royal, VA, that will offer safari-like tours.  He claims the park will rival San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park.  Oh, where do I start.  Firstable, I don't know technically how far the metro area extends, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't reach Front Royal.  For those of you who don't know where Front Royal is, you take 66 out to the fucking sticks, and then you go a little farther.  When you get to the town outhouse, park your horse and buggy next to the public bath.  So basically what I'm saying is: who wants to drive out to Front Royal?  Secondlyness, have you seen the shithole we call a zoo?  The reason the animals die all the time is because they're committing suicide.  If they're creating magic money over there at the Zoo, they should maybe use some of it to fix the zoo we've got. 
  • Indebleu is celebrating it's one year anniversary on March 16.  They're also celebrating 10 months of being passé.  It's $100 a ticket with open bar and hors d'oeuvres - that's actually a pretty good deal because $100 will usually only get you about 3 drinks at Indebleu.  No charge for the rufees in your drink. 
  • The Virginia General Assembly is set to adjourn on March 11, 2006, so if you want to pass any legislation hating on the gays, you better act quickly. Perhaps an anti- gay handholding bill?  Otherwise they will roam free, civil liberties in tact, until the Assembly reconvenes on April 19 and codifies more bigotry.
  • This post has been brought to you by the letter R.

1 I'm adding this disclaimer because I know there will be some very dense person that does not pick up on my sarcasm, even though it's dripping off their screen onto their keyboard.  Disclaimer: I'm being sarcastic.

Sir, I'm so glad that you are indeed perspicacious enough to have your post sponsored by such a lovely letter as R. Front Royal, VA is really far away, and I don't know that I equate it with Safaris.

I've watched people spend hundreds of dollars at indebleu. I would like to open a bar called "The Kitchen." And you could dance like you do in your kitchen. Drink as well. Much less pretentious, don't you think?

Yay, now instead of watching exotic animals die five blocks from home, I can take a day trip and watch them die out in pack-a-lunch Virginia. So much fun.

Wayne was mauled once by the National Zoo bobcat when we were in 7th grade.

Wayne made the mistake of poking his fingers into the 2x4 cage of an already disgruntled animal, and it nearly sliced off his finger.

I have a feeling you are not going to the Indeblue celebration.

MA - while your idea is decidedly less pretentious, I have to admit that I've done very, very little, if any at all, dancing in my kitchen.

Jordan - yes, but you get to watch them die in their *natural* environment.

Phil - what and no lawsuit? Are you suggesting young Wayne was not so litigious?

DCB - um, no. I do like their food, a lot actually, but I'm not big on their social scene.

I read that Post story. Front fucking Royal. It's bad enough the Air and Space is out at Dulles, now the Zoo wants to push the envelope a bit more. I might go for it if there's the excitement that you might be eaten by wild animals at any moment.

Bon killed it with 67 bb pellets to the head.

Please try dancing in your kitchen, RCR. It's quite cathartic.

I give Indebleu another year to become obsolete, and then we'll host a blog happy hour there...

You make bitter sound so good, RCR. Seriously, I wish I could write such invective so well.

Front Royal is so far outside of civilization that the next panda would have to be called Butterchurn. (No? Anyone?)

Maybe they'd call it "butterface" out in the sticks...you know...cuz they'd still want to make love to it.
Mar 8, 2006 at 09:13AM | Unregistered CommenterPhil
DC Cookie - I'll begin securing the financing so that we can afford the drinks

TA - I believe you mean "True Amurican"

MG! - my teen angst fermented into adult rancor. I consider it a gift.

Phil - I would call it Butterfried, as in the way I like my panda prepared at Kenny 'n' Bon's Roasters.

Damn Ditto on the Indebleu...so passe, so expensive, so little reason. And honestly, if I wanted to go out in the bush and look at big cats, I'd fly to Africa. Front Royal...that reeks of wild to me. Shudder.
